Overview
EN 642:1994 (adopted nationally as SIST EN 642:1996) is a CEN standard that specifies requirements and manufacturing rules for prestressed concrete pressure pipes - both cylinder (with metal cylinder or lining) and non‑cylinder types - including joints, fittings and specific requirements for prestressing steel. The standard applies to pipes with nominal/internal diameters from DN/ID 500 to DN/ID 4000 (larger sizes may be manufactured using the same concepts). Pipes are designed to meet purchaser‑designated internal pressure, external loads and bedding conditions.
Key Topics
- Scope and applicability - types of prestressed concrete pipes covered (cylinder and non‑cylinder) and size range (DN 500–4000).
- Manufacture and quality - general manufacturing requirements and workmanship expectations for pressure pipe production.
- Prestressing steel requirements - provisions for the selection, performance and use of prestressing wires/strands specific to pressure pipes.
- Joints and fittings - requirements for pipe joints, seals and special fittings to ensure pressure integrity and field assembly.
- Design criteria - design against internal pressure, external loads (soil, live loads) and bedding/installation conditions as specified by the purchaser.
- Inspection and testing - provisions for verifying conformity to requirements (manufacturing checks, dimensional control, likely hydraulic testing and inspection protocols implied by standard practice).
Applications
EN 642 is practical for projects and industries that rely on large‑diameter pressure pipelines, including:
- Water transmission and supply mains (long‑distance raw and potable water pipelines)
- Irrigation and drainage systems
- Hydropower penstocks and pressure conduits
- Industrial process pipelines where high internal pressures are present
- Municipal and regional infrastructure projects specifying robust, long‑span pressure pipes
Who uses this standard:
- Pipeline designers and civil engineers
- Concrete pipe manufacturers and fabricators
- Utility owners and contracting firms
- Procurement/specification authors and quality inspectors
Related Standards
- National adoptions (e.g., SIST EN 642) implement the CEN text.
- For complementary guidance, consult other CEN standards and national regulations covering concrete materials, jointing systems, testing methods and structural design practice for buried and exposed pipelines.
EN 642 is essential when specifying or producing prestressed concrete pressure pipes, ensuring consistent quality, safe design for pressure and load conditions, and compatibility of joints and prestressing steel across projects.
